Configuring System Startup Files

Configuring System Startup Files

Specify the system software and configuration file for system startup so that the device will start and initialize with the specified software and configuration file. Specify new patch file if the system needs to load new patches.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring the system startup files, complete the following tasks:

Start the device and logging in to the device locally or remotely.

Save the system startup files in the root directory of the device.

Context

Before specifying the files for next startup, you can run the display startup command to view the specified files for next startup.

If no system software is specified for next startup, the device will start with current system software. To change the system software to be loaded for next startup (during an upgrade for example), upload the new system software to the device and specify it as the system file for next startup. The system software package must use .cc as the file name extension and be saved to the root directory of the storage device.

If no configuration file is specified for next startup, the device will start with the default configuration file (vrpcfg.zip for example). If no configuration file is stored in the default directory, the device uses the default parameters for initialization. The configuration file name extension must be .cfg, .dat, or .zip. In addition, the configuration file must be saved in the root directory of the storage device.

A patch file uses .pat as the file name extension. The specified patch file to be loaded for next startup must also be saved to the root directory of the storage device.

Procedure

Configure the system software to be loaded for next startup.

(Optional) Run check system-softwaresystem-file

The integrity of the system software package is checked.

Run startup system-softwaresystem-file

The system software to be loaded for next startup is specified.

Configure the configuration file for next startup.

If you use method 1 to specify the configuration file for next startup, and other configurations are deployed after the startup saved-configuration command is run, a message will be displayed, asking you whether to save configurations when you restart the device. Enter Y, and the configurations deployed later are contained in the configuration file after the restart. If you use method 2, the configuration file for next startup is the current backup configuration file and is not affected by the later configuration change.

(Method 1) Run startup saved-configurationconfiguration-file

The configuration file for next startup is specified.

The device reads the configuration file from the root directory of the storage device for initialization when powered on.
